BROOKLANDS THROUGH THE AGES

An exciting talk will be given by Steve McCarthy who manages the Society’s website. Brooklands has been very much shaped by the legacy of the motor racing circuit built in 1907. The early history of the area, how the circuit came into being and its subsequent development yield some fascinating facts about the life and times of people The 1st Weybridge (Brooklands Own) Scout Group HQ was officially in Weybridge. re-opened following a special parade through Weybridge led by the Steve’s talk will be an insight into the history of 3rd Molesey Scout and Guide Band.

After the formal opening the Group organised a Community Fun Day on Monument Green which included a red Railton vintage motor car loaned from Brooklands Museum plus stalls, demonstrations and games for all to enjoy. This was launched by a Lion Dance given by the Tai Chi teacher’s group. In the HQ the Group provided refreshments and a Lego workshop for younger visitors. The HQ is now in full use and ready to support local Scouts from 6-14 for another 50 years. For hiring opportunities contact [email protected] Tony Palmer

THE SCIENCE BEHIND CLIMATE CHANGE Dr Geoff Jenkins gave a stimulating and enjoyable presentation on the Science behind Climate Change at on September 26th. Geoff was deeply involved with the UK programme on Climate Change Prediction from the early 90’s until his retirement a few years ago and hence he was well qualified to give the presentation. His talk outlined the basic science used in the models that are used to predict global climate change. He reviewed the many practical measurements that are taken throughout the world both on land and sea which are used to build and validate the model. He reviewed the climate change predictions that were current which was particular opportune as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was meeting the week of the talk and its report was being issued the next day. Geoff indicated that the report would probably state the level of certainty was now more than 95% that human activities had caused more than 50% of the observed increase in global surface temperatures since the 1950s. He gave some indications of what that meant for Weybridge in the future. The 50% probability estimate was that mean daily maximum Geoff Jenkins summer temperatures would be 5C higher but rainfall would be more than 25 % lower. Good and bad news for gardeners! The Society was pleased to see that a significant proportion of the audience were 6th form pupils from Heathside and St George’s schools who are studying Climate Change as part of their Geography “A” levels. This was the first talk that had been arranged in conjunction with Heathside School. The Society is grateful to Heathside for the use of the excellent facilities and the Friends of Heathside for providing refreshments. A special mention must also be made to Callum Greenaway who performed some beautiful piano music, including some of his own compositions, as a prelude to the talk. Donations were collected for the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity at the request of Dr Jenkins; together with a Callum Greenaway donation from the Society £100 was raised. Dave Arnold

DIAL STONE COURT At the invitation of a member, and resident of the new Dial Stone Court, the McCarthy and Stone retirement complex on the corner of Queens Road and Oatlands Avenue, Weybridge Society secretary, Carolyn Pennycook, spoke to residents about the society at one of their regular fortnightly coffee mornings. She outlined the work and background of how Weybridge Society works to promote its aim to keep Weybridge special, and a lively questions and answers and general debate about all things Weybridge ensued. It was an informal and friendly atmosphere, at which a view was expressed that it would be nice to have a day-time Weybridge Society meeting on occasion – do members think this would be a good idea? The group was joined by the new Police Community Support Officer Dial Stone Court (PCSO) Ian Lowe. Officer Lowe had recently been posted to Weybridge, and said he found the secretary’s talk very helpful in getting to know the area. Members might be interested to know that on Saturday, 16 November, the Meet the Beat team from the police neighbourhood team will be at Waitrose at 15.30 p.m. (3.30 p.m.), and that on Thursday, 12 December, at 19.30 p.m. (7.30 p.m.) there will be a meeting of the Weybridge Panel of the Neighbourhood Police at St George’s Junior School, Thames Street, Weybridge. Both these events are opportunities for residents to meet the local beat officers, and discuss concerns about the area, and other local issues. Reminder The Police emergency number is 101 or 999 if you suspect a crime might be in progress. Carolyn Pennycook 3 The Weybridge Society Newsletter – Winter 2013 HEATHSIDE SCHOOL PRESENTATION EVENING As for many years, 2013 was no exception – Weybridge Society again donated two prizes to pupils of Heathside School – one for History (in the main school) and one for Contributions to the Community of Weybridge (Sixth Form). Committee members Annette Davies and Anne Lindsay represented the Society at the Presentation Evening on 11 September, and they reported on the excellence of the evening, and especially the outstanding achievements of Heathside pupils.

This year the History prize went to Amy Cronin and her citation stated “Amy has exceptional ability in history demonstrated by her achievement of an A*. She writes with flair and intelligence, constructing well balanced but directed arguments. She is a very able and talented historian. We are really pleased that Amy is continuing her Sixth Form studies here at Heathside.” The prize for Contributions to the Community of Weybridge went to Amy Ward, and her citation was as follows:- “Amy’s ambition is to be a Paediatric nurse, believing that children are our future, making their experience a positive one. To this end she has Amy Cronin volunteered in a local primary having responsibility for a small group of children giving them her constant attention. Amy has also worked with children who have Cerebral Palsy helping them to play in a safe environment and supervise their lunch times. Amy has represented the local community as a Great British Kayaker and is the National Champion at sprint and double National Champion in marathon. She came third in the World Marathon Championships. Whilst doing all this Amy achieved 1A*, B and C in her A levels. As you say, Amy, the character of a nurse is just as important as the knowledge she possesses …. You have been a delightful student and will make an equally delightful nurse … good luck!”. Carolyn Pennycook Amy Ward

BEN VESTITO Ben Vestito is a ladies fashion shop at 58 High Street Weybridge, we have been trading for two and half years. As a family we cycle at weekends, both of our children also cycle competitively. We felt that with a fashion background and the increasing popularity of ladies cycling, we would design our own ladies cycling clothing. We wanted to design clothing that didn¹t have brands and logos all over the clothing. More importantly, we wanted cycling clothing ladies could feel feminine in whilst cycling. We have four cycling jersey designs with matching shorts; two of the prints are colourful one in pinks and the other purple. The other two designs are creative, an animal print and a batik design. The jerseys are made from Coolmax, a lightweight breathable high tech fabric, specifically engineered to keep users dry. The shorts are lycra with a female specific chamois padding to keep you comfortable. We can supply size XXS to XXL so whether you are into spinning classes or cycling around we have a comfortable new look for you. As we have decided to go down the road of cycling clothing, we thought we would also stock ladies bicycles in our fashion. We stock classic Dutch-style bikes, hybrids and modern town-style bikes. When I left school I trained as a motor mechanic so it seemed a logical to also offer bicycle servicing. We services ladies’, men’s and children’s bikes. You can find more information on our website at www.benvestito.co.uk. Adam Moreve

The SILVERLINING, a caring charity. Members might like to know that The Silverlining, a charity which support brain injured persons, was chosen by the Weybridge Town Business Group (WTBG) as beneficiaries of their event on Monument Green during the cycle races on 4 August.

BROOKLANDS RADIO Brooklands Radio – your local online community radio station – has launched an appeal to raise £8,000 for a new sound (broadcasting) desk. If you donate online using LocalGiving.com, they will match any donations up to £10 until this latest fund runs out. So, if you donate £10, Brooklands Radio would receive £20 plus Gift Aid, which would make a good start to their fundraising. Celia Jones, Chairman of the Management Committee, said “Our current desk is over 15 years old and was kindly donated by our late Technical Director, Lance England, who passed away just over a year ago. He encouraged us in his last months to buy a new desk that would be easier for us to maintain, and buy parts for. So, we have decided to start our fundraising now, to tie in with LocalGiving.com’s match fund. I do hope some Weybridge residents will spare a small amount to ensure that we continue to provide a quality service to the local community of north Surrey.”You can also donate anonymously on LocalGiving.com. However Brooklands Radio would like to acknowledge your support, so if you Lance on-air decide to include your name, they will list it on their website, and in the studio, with their thanks. To donate via their LocalGiving.com page – www.LocalGiving.com/brooklandsradio.

John Old 5 The Weybridge Society Newsletter – Winter 2013 ST GEORGE’S COLLEGE AND THE KENNEDY CLUB: A SHORT HISTORY. In 1964 a Youth Conference of the St Vincent de Paul Society was founded at St George's in order to allow pupils to take part in different forms of community service locally on a voluntary basis. The St Vincent de Paul Society (or as it is often known - the SVP) is an international Christian voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty and disadvantage by providing practical assistance to those in need – irrespective of ideology, faith, ethnicity, age or gender. The Kennedy Club Sixth Form members would make regular visits to Botley's Park near St Peter's Hospital, . Botley’s Park was a large, mainly residential, home for those who had special needs. The Sixth Form would entertain the residents with their music group, by playing cricket in the summer and enjoying the annual Fancy Dress Ball. Local people with special needs were invited to hold their own social evenings there too but unfortunately this particular facility was closed later that year. After the closure they decided to meet in one another's houses since there were no alternative premises available in the area. As President J F Kennedy had died just a few months earlier in 1963 (some 50 years ago), they chose to name their group the ‘Kennedy Club’ as one member of President Kennedy’s extended family was known to have special needs. ln 1967 the Walton Charities allowed the building of a small pre-fab structure on their land on the approaches to Ellesmere Hospital (which now a luxury housing-estate) just off Queens Road. This building became known as ‘Burview Hall’ and meetings of Kennedy Club would take place there on alternate Friday evenings. September 1967 saw the introduction of a joint Sixth Form involving the girls from St Maur's Convent School and the boys at St George's College. Two years later in 1969 one of the Sixth Form girls, Jania Fitzsimons, whose brother Robert had special needs and whose father was once chairman of the local SVP group, immediately saw the opportunity of having the Sixth Form’s Kennedy Club evenings at the school. This suggestion was accepted and the first meeting was held on a Tuesday evening in a classroom with about 6 or 7 'guests' and an equal number of specially invited members of the joint Sixth Form. When the guests had left the classroom floor needed mopping and the desks wiped down then moved back into lines ready for lessons next day. These weekly Kennedy Club meetings have continued during term time ever since that first meeting. In those early days Kennedy Club would start at 7.00 pm and last a couple of hours. Today they take place on Thursday evenings between 7.30 pm and 9.00 pm. Interestingly the format of the evenings has remained largely the same with the evening finishing with the guests showing off their talents including in those very early Roger beating his bongo drums and Sally singing 'Bring on the clowns'. Sally still sings at the Kennedy Club each week after all those years. Over the years the Kennedy Club has welcomed guests from Badgers Wood in ; the Molesey Venture; Rodney House; Langdown; Covenham as well as others from their own homes in Weybridge, Cobham and Walton on Thames. There is one guest who comes all the way from Wonersh on the other side of Guildford! ln the 70's before these days of 'healthy and safety' regulations it was quite usual on warm sunny evenings to meet outdoors on a grassy field in one of the more quiet parts of the grounds for games of cricket and rounders. On Sally one such evening the count at the end showed somebody was missing!!! After a swift search one of the students noticed their bike was missing. This led to a 999 call to the police and a prayer! Three quarters of an hour later the police came with the good news that the bike and rider had been spotted in Tolworth and he was 'safe and sound'. You can imagine our relief. In 1981, the BBC filmed 'Songs of Praise' from St Paul's Church during which the Head Girl, Shelly Rice, was interviewed at St George’s College while taking part in a Kennedy Club evening. Apart from the regular Tuesday evening Kennedy Clubs at St George’s College, the weekly Friday evening Kennedy Club continued to take place on alternating weeks at St Maur’s in Thames Street, organised by the students, and at Burview Hall. The involvement of students at these Friday evening meetings took place thanks largely to the support of Sister Mary Murphy lJS and continued until the demise of boarding at St Maur’s Convent School. 6 The Weybridge Society Newsletter – Winter 2013 As well as the launch of the Kennedy Club in the 1960s, on alternate Saturday afternoons the ‘Adventurers’ Club’ for very young children with special needs was organised by four Sixth Form over at St Maur's Convent School. This play group enabled the parents of these very young children to enjoy some welcome respite time. ln 1972 the ‘Nova Club’ was launched in Burview Hall with the aim of teaching craftwork and basic cooking. Several pupils and a member of staff attended for a while. Over the years it developed into a much loved social club to the extent that it replaced their original Kennedy Club. ln 2000 the Burview Hall was in such a bad state that it was decided to build a larger and permanent building. Once again the Walton Charities financed this project aided by local fund-raising schemes. The large Hall is equipped with the latest sound and vision technology. Next to the hall are the kitchen and two 'sensory rooms' with special equipment for those unable to stand. More than forty guests come to their alternate Wednesday meetings. Some come from as far away as Richmond and Hounslow where facilities for those with special needs are lacking. Searching 'on-line' for Kennedy Club today one will find it continues to thrive at St George's College thanks to the continued support of successive members of the Sixth Form. Today the Kennedy Club is held in the spacious Sixth Form meeting room in the new Henderson Centre at the College with 25 guests and 50+ students as well as members of staff. Recently Michael Thio, the International President of the SVP, visited St George’s College to learn about the Kennedy Club at the College during his visit to England from Singapore.

INTERVIEW WITH EMILY THOMSON, OWNER OF ST GEORGES VETERINARY CENTRE, OLD HEATH ROAD, WEYBRIDGE

Do you enjoy working as a vet in Weybridge? Weybridge is a wonderful place to work as a vet and a beautiful place to live. Our clients, many of whom I now consider friends, are often highly knowledgeable and prioritise their animal’s health and welfare. The pets we see are clearly beloved and cosseted and there are some great personalities. Over time, I have come to know many of these animals well and feel great affection for them. When I am out and about in Weybridge, it is lovely to see familiar dogs enjoying fantastic walks in the parks or along the Thames towpath.

Can you tell me about the practice, when did you open? St George’s Veterinary Centre opened at Holland House Old Heath Road Weybridge in January 2011. I had graduated from Cambridge ten years previously and was keen to provide a high standard of compassionate veterinary care in a friendly, well-designed practice. Emily Thomson We are a purely small animal practice, with a fairly even distribution of canine and feline patients and smaller numbers of rabbits, guinea pigs and other pets. The practice is situated immediately adjacent to Weybridge railway station. When I first saw the building it was functioning as office space, but its potential as a veterinary surgery was apparent. The size and access were ideal and the site benefitted from a large private car park, a great advantage for owners carrying pets. I was determined that the remodelling of the interior would create a welcoming www.stgeorgesvetcentre.co.uk 7 The Weybridge Society Newsletter – Winter 2013 environment with a generously proportioned reception area, consulting room and operating theatre. To ensure my high expectations were met, I supervised every step, from the laying of the flooring to the installation of the equipment, even enlisting friends and family to help me paint the walls. There were certainly some stressful moments prior to opening, for example the van delivering the anaesthetic machine was stuck in the snow on Christmas Eve and I had to drive to a depot to rescue it. Despite the considerable financial commitment, I made the decision to invest in top-of-the-range equipment, including a digital X-ray processor. This has proved invaluable, particularly in critical cases such as Road Traffic Accidents, as diagnostic X-rays are obtained in mere seconds, a fraction of the time required for chemical developers.

How do you feel St George’s Vet Centre benefits the area? I have a fantastic team, including a very experienced head nurse, all of whom live locally. The whole team is passionate about caring for pets and giving the best possible advice to their owners. We know visits to the vet can be stressful and emotional for owners as well as their pets and therefore prioritise client care as much as clinical excellence. Owners are always welcome to pop into the practice and give their dog a treat from the jar at reception, to ensure the practice is associated with positive experiences and to reduce anxiety through familiarisation. I am always pleased to hear from owners that their dogs try to pull them into our car park whilst walking past the entrance! The situation is more complicated for cats but for nervous felines the team can advise on methods to make the experience calmer and less onerous. Working as a vet involves long hours and can be emotionally draining. However, I love my job and could not imagine doing anything else. I feel very lucky to be able to practice in such a beautiful area, with many wonderful clients. Joe Hall

THE PLANNING PANEL-OCTOBER 2013

The following information is summarised from the Weybridge Society’s Planning Panel’s records; it is up to date at the time of writing and we hope that it is a true representation of the panel’s opinion.

PLANNING APPLICATIONS IN WEYBRIDGE NORTH OCTOBER 2013 “Round Oak”, Round Oak Road (2012/2849, 2013/0648) Both applications were to convert a garage, which is on the boundary and in front of a detached house, into two storeys of accommodation. Our Planning Panel objected to both these applications which were refused. An appeal against the refusal of the latest application was unsuccessful. The Boathouse Jessamy Road (2013/3337) This proposal was for a two storey side extension. Our Planning Panel supported the local residents who considered that, due to its position, size and volume it was not a limited infill and was therefore inappropriate development in the Green Belt. We are pleased to report that Elmbridge West Area Planning Committee refused this application. Weybridge Vandals Football Club Walton Lane (2013/4049) An application has been made for the Installation of lighting columns and a generator on the football field. Our committee will evaluate this proposal. “Riverside” Church Walk Weybridge Surrey (2013/3461) This application was for the change of use from Office to Residential, which our Planning Panel considered to be a good alternative use of the building, although they were not pleased that all the trees next to the river had already been cut down. It was surprising that the application was refused on the grounds of flood risk and in particular of not having an evacuation plan. Raymond Spary, Joint Chair, Planning Panel

PLANNING APPLICATIONS IN OATLANDS PARK OCTOBER 2013 70, St. Mary’s Road (Application 2013/3077) This application proposed to replace a chalet bungalow by a pair of semi- detached 4-bedroomed houses. The Society opposed this application on grounds of overdevelopment and because its design was not sympathetic to the character of the area. The application was permitted by the West Area Planning Committee on September 10th. 1. Albany Cottage, Westdene Way (2013/3272) Albany Cottage is a large house on a relatively small site. The application proposes to demolish the present building and to replace it with three detached houses (two 5 bed-roomed houses and one 4- bedroomed house). The houses would be arranged in a straight line, and closely spaced, and would have a cramped appearance. The Society has raised an objection to the proposal on the grounds of overdevelopment. The application is still under consideration by the Council. Geoff Banks, Joint Chair, Planning Panel

8 The Weybridge Society Newsletter – Winter 2013 PLANNING DESIGN AND CHARACTER SUPPLEMENTARY PLANNING DOCUMENT (SPD) As part of the Council’s development of a Planning Core Strategy they are required to prepare new guidance under the heading of “Design and Character” for each area in the borough. The Planning Panel of the Society have been actively contributing to the preparation of the Weybridge Guidance document (SPD) by assisting the Council and giving our views of the draft document as it is prepared. The maps of the areas, (that are the core of the guidance), have been examined and amended by members of the Panel and submitted to the Council. We are concerned however that the document has not examined the detailed character of Weybridge and its many parts with sufficient detail to be of use to those submitting planning applications in the future and will not achieve the objectives of the SPD. We have expressed our concern to the Officers and Councillors. Peter White

THE HOUSEHOLDER APPEAL SERVICE (HAS) This is a new procedure for dealing with householder appeals, with the aim of speeding up the process. Such appeals must be initiated within 12 weeks of the Local Planning Authority’s refusal decision (normally 6 months) and the Planning Inspectorate aims to come to a decision within 8 weeks. In his/her appeal request the appellant must include a complete, clear, and concise statement of his/her grounds of appeal, as this is the only opportunity to make representations. The Inspector makes his decision on the basis of the information available to the LPA when the original application was determined. A more detailed description of the procedure can be found on the Society’s website Geoff Banks, Joint Chair, Planning Panel DATES FOR YOUR DIARY IN 2014  January 23rd Steve McCarthy’s talk on Brooklands 8 pm in St James’ Church Hall – see Page 1  February 8th Helper’s Party at Churchfields Hall- invites will be sent out in the New Year  April 10th AGM 8 pm in St James’ Church Hall  July 13th Summer Party at “Splash” Wey Meadows

LIGHT UP A LIFE SERVICES 2013

At 4 pm on 8 December 2013, at St James’ Church, Weybridge Woking & Sam Beare Hopsices will be holding a Light Up A Life Service where people can celebrate and remember the life of a friend or family member. More details can be found on www.wsbhospices.co.uk, or call on 01483 881752.
